ways to educate yourself

as a newer nurse in this field i am stuck in a hospital with a high turn over rate leaving me one of the "senior" nurses on my shift. i have been on l&d for 1.5 years and still lack confidence at times. our educator in my opinion is horrible. she passed everyone in neonatal reses. without actually practicing or reviewing the tests. she has not had "stable" coorifices that she promised me i would have within the 2 months since i was hired. i have repeatedly asked her about the coorifices along with bereavement training as we have a fair amount of demises and i am either told nothing or told "next month." i am scared to death of sick newborns and have expressed this numerous times. i am tired of waiting for her to get on the ball and dont feel its safe to wait on this type of education. any things that you guys do to self educate, or places i can look for coorifices that may be offered outside of my hospital.

anything would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance!

I would suggest finding another job, if possible. Your pleas obviously aren't being answered and are not important to her. You need to find someone who will appreciate what you do.

You can start on the Internet. Begin with Google searches for topics and go from there. For example, the March of Dimes website has great information on a lot of topics.

I'd also suggest you write a letter to your manager and outline your concerns. Identify what education you believe is needed and why.

Unfortunately our educators can't meet my needs, so I rely on them for the basics (NRP and BCLS, for example).

Perhaps you could research a topic and present it to your staff? I've done this before; helpful to you and to your fellow nurses!
